Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World
Chapter 99 Gray Region
Eternal Night Empire - Saint Catherine City - Imperial City - Central Palace——
The wine glass in Crabran's hand suddenly shattered, and he asked the generals in the audience in a cold voice:
"Tell me again, what happened to my daughter?"
Everyone lowered their heads, their faces full of embarrassment. An old veteran who was over a hundred years old sighed and said:
"Hey! Your Majesty, although this is indeed bad news, please face the reality. Marshal Han Jin was intercepted and killed by orc dragoons on her way back to the country. The plane crashed and she has been out of contact ever since."
"Humph!"
With a violent wave of his sleeves, Crablan threw the table full of delicacies in front of him off the table and scattered them all over the carpet in the palace.
Orcs and humans gathered an army of one million at some point in time, and arrived at the southwest coast without anyone noticing. That place was not well developed and there was almost no strong resistance.
The two latest pieces of news are: one is that the enemy completed the landing effortlessly and began to advance inland; the other is that Han Jin was attacked and lost contact, and his life or death is unknown.
A young general tried to calm Crablan down by saying something nice:
"Your Majesty, please don't worry! Your daughter is the most powerful demon tamer in the demon world. Not to mention a hundred dragon riders, even ten thousand of them are no match for her! The loss of contact must be because she is so powerful that she accidentally broke the communication equipment!"
Unexpectedly, the emperor always liked the truth and hated sweet talk the most. He roared:
"Get lost! You're just talking nonsense all day long! Who can't say nice things? I want the first-hand information about her now. Is she dead or alive? Can she come back to join the war? I want to hear this news!"
Krabrun's anger frightened him so much that he subconsciously covered his mouth, knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
"I'm sorry! Your Majesty... calm down."
At this time, the gate of the palace was pushed open by a strong wind, and a tall figure flashed in. His high-profile aura shocked everyone. It was Brannet, followed by a man and a woman, who were Binghe and Miaomiao.
"Hey man, why are you so angry? Look how scared you are of the youngster." Brannet said casually, and waved his hand to send out a stream of air to help the young man up.
He and Crablank, one in the army and the other in politics, were both top warriors among the Night Elves long before the establishment of the Eternal Night Empire. They also had a good relationship in private and often competed in martial arts and discussed the Dao. Even now, although there is a difference between the king and the minister, they can still call each other brothers.
Seeing that it was him, Krablanc's anger subsided a little, and he told him the news that Han Jin had lost contact.
"Oh? Your daughter is so powerful, how could something happen to her?" Clablan also expressed surprise.
Miaomiao and Binghe exchanged a glance, and Binghe asked, "Marshal, I have something to report!"
After taking a look at the young human, Branart patted him on the shoulder and said to the emperor:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This child seems to have something important to say."
"Oh? But it has something to do with my daughter?"
Crablank remembered this pair of ghost lovers. In order to investigate the Welanti spies, they often traveled back and forth between the palace and various intelligence departments headed by the Seven Deadly Sins. Not long after the fall of the Iron Blood Alliance, Binghe, with the support of Branart, caught several criminals who collaborated with the enemy in the imperial capital.
Binghe nodded affirmatively: "Reporting to Your Majesty. Various signs show that the orcs' massive invasion and Marshal Han Jin's disappearance are related to Weilanti and the clues we recently found about the heavens."
"Oh? Come forward and tell me in detail!"
……
The perspective returned to the western continent, to a forest outside the ruins of the Sealed God Temple. Galantina, dressed in red, slowly crossed out, looking back at the people in the underworld who were going their separate ways. To be honest, she quite liked the hustle and bustle when there were many people. After identifying the direction of the road, she headed north on the main road.
Before leaving, Ying Li gave Galantina another lesson, asking her to review and summarize the two major factions of [God Slayer] and [Blood Demon], and to focus on practicing the [Blood Demon] faction and refine it.
By watching her fight, Ying Li discovered that although [God Slayer] was smooth and easy to improve, it was too dependent on the physical state and the strength of the magic weapon, and it put a huge strain on the body; although [Blood Demon] consumed more energy, it could rely entirely on magic power and was extremely flexible, and could be used in any state as long as there was magic power in the body.
Now, Galantina can transform her body into elements at any time, just like Ying Li did before, and can avoid a lot of damage at critical moments. This is all based on the move that seems to have the least lethality, [Blood Demon: Red Hidden], and its effect is similar to [Devil Sky Walk].
【Magic Sky Walk】This type of elemental skills is also highly recommended by Ying Li. He often tells Galantina: 【Magic Sky Walk】seems to be a skill for hurrying and accelerating, but it is actually the most basic of the basics. If you use this skill well, other skills will be more handy, because only this type of skill can transform the whole body into elements, and it itself is the Nether Flame. Then using other skills that use the Nether Flame as the medium will naturally be easy.
Frequent use of this type of skills will make the elements and the body more harmonious, and it will be smoother to use when you need it. At this time, Galantina was putting Ying Li's theory into practice. She activated [Blood Demon; Red Hidden] throughout the process. At the same time, for weight training, she also asked Slanda to get into her red fog. Bringing one more person means more magic power consumption. The greater the effort, the faster the progress.
Seeing Galantina's persistence, Ying Li couldn't bear to see her doing useless work, so he reminded her:
"Well... Actually, this kind of skills consumes very little magic, so there is no such thing as weight training. It will be difficult to make progress even if you lead one more person. Why don't you just walk normally? Your speed is too slow. It's better to run with [God Slayer: Fury]."
"Shut up! This is what I want. The more you use it, the more proficient you will be. If you don't use it often, you won't get used to it!" Galanthe's face turned red and she patted Ying Li's inner elixir.
After all, [Magic Sky Travel] is a unique skill derived from [Nether Flame Art]. It is difficult for other skills to achieve such a high speed, elementalization, low consumption, and concealment.
Galantina also tried to use [Red Hide] and activate [Fury] at the same time to speed up, but one of them focuses on being calm and relaxed, while the other focuses on being aggressive like fire. Using these two contradictory skills together will only cancel each other out.
Silanda smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency and your Madam have a really good relationship. They even taught me the travel skills in detail."
"Humph~ Of course, let's see who the man is!"
This can be considered as the change after Ying Li's rebirth. In his previous life, he had always been disdainful of teaching others, and only gave some pointers to Wang Yi in the last period of the demon clan.
In his opinion, teaching is a very time-consuming thing. In addition, each demon tamer has different talents, and it is even more difficult to teach a fool. It is better to intensify the practice and make continuous breakthroughs in his realm.
Now he no longer thinks so. Personal strength is limited. No matter how powerful he is or how many enemies he kills, he cannot save a country that is doomed to perish.
Ultimately, it’s because the company does not have a strong enough mass base, and the allies that can help it are too few and too weak.
Weilanti took advantage of this point and incited the various tribes that coveted the Devil's Heart at the time to attack the already crumbling Demon Empire.
……
In the evening, Galantina finally stepped into the territory of the day elves. She maintained the "Red Hidden" for a whole day, but was unable to use up all her magic power.
"Madam, you can put away your magic now. We can only walk here." Slanda suddenly called out to Galantina and pointed vigilantly at the various magical weapons at the city gate.
"Hey! Trouble."
There is a decree in the Kingdom of Ming Zhou that prohibits anyone from using speed-related magic in areas near the border. Everyone must walk on their own or use technological means of transportation.
Otherwise, once discovered by the monitoring equipment on the city gate tower, they will be charged with "escaping checkpoint inspection" and subjected to overwhelming magic bombardment on the spot. Even if they escape, they will be endlessly hunted down by the officers and soldiers during the day.
The elven soldiers at the city gate are all above the Ghost King level, and are equipped with luxurious magical technology equipment. It can be seen that the elves attach great importance to border defense.
It could also be that things have not been peaceful recently, such as the most violent Ying Li. On the bulletin board at the door, a familiar face stood out, it was the notorious Western Ghost Emperor.
Seeing Ying Li's face, Galantina couldn't help but sneer. The elf guard who was about to interrogate her said coldly:
"What are you laughing at? Open the storage container immediately and let me check it!"
Slanda quickly came to the rescue: "I'm sorry, Brother Bing! We are merchants from the Gray Region, and some of our things cannot be seen in public. Can you please make some concessions?"
"Accommodating?"
The elf was furious and was about to yell at him, but Slanda, judging the situation, stuffed a large gem into his palm. The gem was shiny and very hard, and when he put it in his hand, he felt a comfortable warm current flowing into his internal organs.
"This……"
Siranda chuckled and whispered, "Hehe~ You've worked hard guarding the border! A little local specialty is not a token of respect."
The soldier quickly put the gem into his pocket, looked around slyly, and found that other colleagues were busy working and no one noticed him. He took a deep breath and whispered to Slanda:
"Ahem! How should I put it... We certainly understand the hardship of doing business, but it is our duty and responsibility to check every person entering the city..."
Galantina got angry when she heard it. As soon as her little mouth opened, Slanda hurriedly grabbed her. Ying Li was also afraid that something might happen, so he sent a message to her: Don't make a sound, let Slanda handle it!
The elf guard paused, then continued, "...So I decided to compromise. You don't have to open all the storage containers. Just go over there for security check."
The two looked in the direction of his finger and saw a security scanner, an antique from the last century that was only used in countries where magic was not well developed.
Slanda was overjoyed. He stuffed another piece of "local specialty" into the guard's hand and asked Galanthe to go through security check. How could such a thing possibly identify Ying Li's presence?
However, although they successfully passed the checkpoint fortress, the two did not feel much relieved because they also knew that the most troublesome thing was how to find the entrance to the gray area.
Everyone knows that the Gray Region is located in the northeast of the Western Continent, within the territory of Ming Zhou. But when people walk past it, they can only see a chaotic old street. The real "Gray Region" exists in the same form as the "Empty Realm", and is also an inner world constructed by powerful space magic.
Only by entering the real Gray Domain can you get what everyone who visits the Gray Domain wants.
It was getting late now, so Slanda suggested settling down on the outskirts of the Gray Zone first, going out alone to gather information, and then setting out to look for the entrance the next day.
Before Siranda left, Ying Li instructed him, "Don't just inquire about the Gray Region, but also ask for information about the Abyss Crystal and Soul."
"Okay, both of you should go to bed early." Slanda left the hotel, and before leaving, he cast a shadow barrier at the door of Galantina's room.
After closing the door, Galantina gave Ying Li's inner core a wicked smile, rubbed her hands and said, "Hehe~ Giving Slanda two more tasks, is it to get him out of the way so that he can be with me?"
Ying Li suddenly felt terrified, and quickly moved his inner elixir to roll a few times away, trying to beg for mercy:
“Don’t make trouble, you are tired today, you shouldn’t overwork yourself, and the way I am now… I really can’t serve you, my ancestor!”
Galantina licked her lips and said in a commanding tone: "Now, immediately, immediately. Show your body. I know you have a way to temporarily condense your body. Hurry up!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will run out of magic power early and disappear forever?" Ying Li said in a deep voice.
But after spending so much time with Ying Li, Galantina had already figured out all of Ying Li's thoughts. She shook her head like a rattle:
"Don't bluff me. As long as it's not a battle, the magic power you consume can be recovered by itself. At worst, you can leave the rest of the battle to me!"
Ying Li was speechless. She was right. It wasn't that he couldn't recover his magic power. He just lacked his body and the central nervous system that restored his magic power, so his recovery was very slow.
Having said that, the step of solidifying the body consumes no less mana than using "Ghost Shadow" once, but the other "exercises" do not consume much mana.
"Be good. Wait until my body is restored, and then you can do whatever you want to me, okay? Isn't the purpose of our trip here to repair my body? Can you wait a few more days?"
Ying Li still wanted to try to pull the strings, hoping that Galantina would understand a little and leave him a "way to survive".
Unexpectedly, Galantina is not an unreasonable demon. She giggled, kissed the surface of the inner elixir and said:
"I'm just trying to scare you! I don't want you to waste your life. Every bit of your magic power is your life. But before you recover, can you really not get involved in a single battle?"
"Hey?"
Ying Li was confused by her 360-degree turn. Was she letting him go? It was not impossible not to ask him to join the battle, but he was afraid that he would encounter a strong enemy that Galantina and Slanda could not handle.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"It's okay! You always protect me, so when can I really become strong?" Galantina interrupted with a resolute expression on her face.
Ying Li had no choice but to respond vaguely: "Okay then. But you must be careful. If you encounter something that threatens your life, I must take action."
"Hehe~ Don't worry! Then...what about the other thing you promised?"
"which one?"
"You can do whatever I want to you... Can you really do whatever I want to you?"
Ying Li smiled bitterly. Although he was safe for the time being, what would he do when the time came? How could he satisfy this greedy juicer? This would be difficult!
